First Rolls: Fuji Acros 100
Ok, not a first roll. Have shot it plenty, but I am on a roll today and I love this stuff.
I suspect many will have tried this film so I’ll make this quick. Continue reading First Rolls: Fuji Acros 100
First Rolls: Kodak Color Plus 200 Quick Overview
Not really a review. Some rambling then samples.
I am a friend of cheap affordable film. Will usually find me in possession of some manner of drug store or megalomart grade multi pack film. This film costs about the same, but when you factor in that Color Plus is 36 exposures per roll, rather than the typical bargain grade 24, that makes it even more of a deal. Continue reading First Rolls: Kodak Color Plus 200 Quick Overview
This Old Camera: The Yashica Mat LM
So why a TLR? They look cool.
Started with my wanting to get my mitts on a Rolleiflex TLR. At first an f/2.8… Wait, how much? Ok, an f/3.5 then. That settles it. Wait, a Yashica f/3.5 for what now? So why an LM with an old tech selenium meter
instead of the 124G (great review here) and it’s battery powered meter? Continue reading This Old Camera: The Yashica Mat LM
New @KEHCamera Blog Post Entry Is Up: Black & White vs. Color Film
This Old Camera: Zorki 4. meh.
Wanted to like this camera. Has some definite perks. As suggested to me by an Instagram acquaintance it has a fantastic viewfinder. But I did not warm up to it at all for some reason. Maybe because it was too normal?
Most likely it is because infinity did not line up when using the Industar 50 it came with. Perhaps because the eveready case flops about on the bottom owing to the non-flush tripod mount. Looks good, but not as tidy and as one of a piece like the wonderfully snug FED 2 and Industar 10 in their case. That set up’s feel and performance belies its frugal pricing.

This Old Camera: Zeiss Ikon Teleskop 1.7x Adapter
This post is all out of order, but I am impressed by a peculiar piece of hardware I picked up recently. More specifically a peculiar piece of camera hardware for a peculiar camera. The camera in question? The (deep breath) Zeiss Ikon Contaflex II.
A camera that I had no idea ever existed not that long ago. Continue reading This Old Camera: Zeiss Ikon Teleskop 1.7x Adapter
Scanner files: First Roll Through the Russian Tank Zenit E w/ Kodak Gold 200
First test roll through a recently acquired $15 Zenit E that I unwittingly tried to destroy by attaching a Takumar M42 screw mount to it (Do not ever do this as it quickly jammed itself on the body. There is a pin on the lens that will jam in one of the screw-heads on the face of the Zenit’s mount.) followed by a camera store fix visit with no change followed by my own brief berserker episode w/ a .009 feeler gauge that managed to save camera and lens.
Now matched w/ the intended era correct favorite lens of mine, the Helios 44 2. Continue reading Scanner files: First Roll Through the Russian Tank Zenit E w/ Kodak Gold 200
